This is working as per the webdav spec.
<spec-quote>
8.8.4 COPY and the Overwrite Header

   If a resource exists at the destination and the Overwrite header is
   "T" then prior to performing the copy the server MUST perform a
   DELETE with "Depth: infinity" on the destination resource.  If the
   Overwrite header is set to "F" then the operation will fail.
</spec-quote>

The spec makes no reference to the type of source and destination resources 
having an effect on whether or not the copy takes place.

Note: A resource may be a file or a collection.

I am afraid you are just going to have to be careful ;)
